Love Under the Olive Tree (2020) Movie Script
1
I see a light shine
Wanna let it in from the outside
Feel it on my skin
right away, away, away
Oh
You got what I like
When you're not around,
I don't feel right
I could use you right now
Right away, away, away
Away, away, away
Daylight
Put the sun on me now
I'm gonna soak up
What you're giving
Daylight
There's something about
you when you show up
Oh, I'm living
I come alive, alive, alive every time
When you do, you do, you do, you do
I come alive, alive
when I see you alive
Yes, I do, I do, I do, I do, uh-huh
Grandpa, good, you're here.
Hey.
Did you see the new, flashy
Brandini sign on your way in?
They love reminding people
about their contest wins.
Not this time.
It'll only be fair for
a ranch like Cabella,
where we actually do the
work ourselves, to win.
I know.
Oh.
Oh.
Hi, we didn't
hear you come home.
How could you over the music?
Your mother, your mo...
Your mother signed us up
for, uh, for a dance class,
it's our first day.
Dance class?
Seriously?
May I remind you of our
ill-fated father/daughter dance
in third grade?
A little embarrassment
for my only daughter
was worth it for the
grin on her face.
I mean, it's not
like I was much better.
It's the Cabella curse,
two left feet.
Before you go,
there's something
we need to discuss.
All right.
Ready?
Grandpa has decided it's
time for him to retire.
And I'm gonna take
over Cabella Oil.
Are you sure?
I wanna relax, travel the world,
but my protege here will
continue the Cabella legacy.
This is such wonderful news.
Do you feel like you're ready
for this responsibility, Nicole?
Of course she is.
Grandpa has been
training me my entire life,
and I have big ideas to take
the ranch to the next level.
Beginning with the competition.
You're entering again?
Obviously.
I just don't wanna see
you disappointed, honey.
She can't help herself.
Olive oil is in her blood.
Heck, it may even be her blood.
Adam and I have been studying
new techniques for our recipe,
and I really think we finally
have a shot this year.
Oh, guys, one second.
Granddad, how are you?
Hiya, Jake.
Hey, it's olive-harvest season,
I thought perhaps
you'd like to come down
to Sunset Valley
for the weekend?
- Uh, this weekend?
- I could probably give you
that traditional olive oil
lesson we've been planning.
It's perfect timing,
we're developing our submission
for the annual contest.
Well, you know I'd
love to, uh, but...
But you've got work
to keep you busy.
Yeah, actually I do.
In fact, I'm due
in court right now.
No, of course.
Hey, break a leg.
Thanks, Granddad, I will.
Ready to work on another batch?
Yes, I am.
But first, guess what,
I'm officially in
charge of Cabella.
What?
Oh, my god, that's amazing!
But, wait, I'm not gonna have to
start calling you boss, am I?
Well, technically...
After working
together for six years?
Six years?
Has it been that long?
It was only supposed
to be for a summer
while you apprentice with Frank,
but here I am.
Head ranch hand,
and my best friend.
Well, consider this best
friend thoroughly impressed.
So what are you working on here?
Um, it's my concept for
expanding the tasting facility.
I just, you know, I don't know
if I'm ready to take on
a big renovation like this.
Well, I approve.
Have you found a contractor?
Yep.
And I filed a
construction permit.
I am so proud of you.
Okay, let's get cracking,
because this olive oil contest
isn't gonna win itself.
So let's go.
Yep.
Jake,
congrats on the big win.
Great job.
Thank you, Julie.
Oh.
Of course.
We'll talk later?
Right.
Hey, Mom, great news...
What do you mean,
is Granddad okay?
I'm on my way.
Can you, uh, take
care of this for me?
Okay, before Grandpa
leaves on his vacation,
I wanted to show
you all of my plans
for expanding the ranch.
Wow.
You weren't kidding
about having grand ideas.
Well, it's still
a work in progress,
but this is what I had in mind.
We'd offer the same
tastings we already do,
but on a much bigger scale.
We'd add a terrace with a bistro
and finally showcase
the beautiful view.
Adam had some really great ideas
for its rustic, chic design.
Aww, Adam is such a sweetie.
I don't know why the two
of you aren't together.
I'm hardly his type.
Let's stay focused on the plan.
So, what are your thoughts?
Well, if you can pull it
off, it'll be wonderful.
What do you think, Dad?
I love it.
Really?
Yeah.
Yes.
Mom.
Jake, how was the drive?
What does that matter?
How's Granddad?
Well, you know...
He is perfectly all right.
And I do not need this thing.
Ow!
He fell and broke his arm.
Dad, you're anything
but all right, Dad.
Jake, what on earth
are you doing here?
Well, Mom said you
were in the hospital,
and so I came right away.
Honestly, Eleanor, did you
have to make such a fuss?
Come on, let's get you home.
You were in the hospital.
Oh, I know,
you're a sweet, sweet girl,
but really, there's
nothing wrong with me.
Mom, why did you
make it sound like
he was having a
medical emergency?
Well, I didn't know how
serious his injury was
when I spoke to you.
Besides, I thought that it
might motivate you to come.
You're kidding?
I was frantic.
Well, if you visited more often,
I wouldn't have
to be so creative.
Thanks. What can I do
for you, my good man?
Can I get a cold
brew to go, please?
I'm afraid we only
carry the hard stuff here.
That's fine.
Jake.
- Billy.
- Is that you?
What are you doing
in Sunset Valley?
Yeah, yeah, still here.
Big fish, small
pond, as they say.
Hmm.
I bought this place a few
years back, it's my spot now.
Well, that's great.
You're no slouch either,
look at this getup,
I'm gonna have to
charge you double.
For this service, hardly.
Traitor.
No, no, we are an
equal-opportunity supplier.
We don't take sides here.
Because if you did, you'd
have to choose Cabella.
Hey, Billy.
Hey, I'll go grab your order.
Thanks.
Wow.
You sure clean up nice.
Excuse me?
You don't recognize me?
Bit of a hit to the ego,
but I think I can recover.
Oh, all you had to say was ego
and the memories just came
flooding back.
If it isn't Jake Brandini,
ghost of childhood's past.
You still living with
your folks at the ranch?
Oh, actually, I run Cabella now.
Wow, congrats, I remember
that was always the dream.
You remember something
I said when we were kids?
Uh, I also remember that
time where you tripped and fell
after we raced to the factory.
Yes, but if
memory serves, I won, so...
Yeah, that part, I don't recall.
Oh, no, you don't recall, huh?
No.
Okay.
Well, time sure flies
when you're becoming a
big-time corporate lawyer.
I...
That's, I heard
that's what you do.
Oh, did you?
Uh, thanks, Billy.
Here you go.
Oh, thanks.
Well, that was sure
a blast from the past.
See you in, what,
another 15 years?
Bye, Sticky Nicki.
Nobody calls me that anymore.
So, how long you in town anyway?
Head back to San
Francisco tomorrow.
I guess those tech zillionaires
aren't gonna sue themselves.
Someone's gotta do it.
You know, on my way back,
I noticed the Cabellas are
building near the property line.
Anyway, hey, Granddad,
maybe after breakfast,
you can give me that
lesson we've been planning.
Oh, no, he's on strict
orders to take it easy.
We still don't know
what caused him to fall,
and he shouldn't be
operating any machinery.
Okay.
Well, how about a
stroll of the property?
To the Cabella border and
back, for old times' sake.
Yeah.
I don't know what
ever appealed to you
about going over there.
Not after the way Frank Cabella
treated your grandfather.
Are you guys ever
gonna let that go?
I don't see why your new terrace
has to be so close to
the Brandini border.
How can you handle the
proximity to that family?
Based on the budget,
we can only afford to expand
the existing facility,
not start fresh.
And it should be fine.
I've never seen anyone
from Brandini's over there.
Mr. Cabella,
didn't you guys start
the ranch together?
What went wrong?
Well...
Here we go again.
Right out of the gate,
we were doing better
than we expected.
I wanted to make some big moves.
Raphael was offered a
lucrative opportunity to expand,
so he decided to squeeze me out.
I begged Frank to join in
on the international project,
but he refused.
He started making
deals behind my back.
All I wanted was to confirm
that the offers were sound
before I presented them.
He was willing to
abandon years of friendship
just to build an empire.
He never even let me explain.
So we split up the ranch
and went our separate ways.
To this day,
I've never met anyone
who knew his way around
an olive oil press
better than Frank Cabella.
The Cabellas only
care about being right.
The Brandinis only care
about the bottom line.
Come on.
Let's go for that stroll.
Sure, Granddad.
Hey, I wanna show you
the old map that I found.
Cabellas and that property line.
Are you sure this
map is accurate?
I don't know why it
wouldn't be, why do you ask?
'Cause based on
these property lines,
the border goes right through
that, which is encroachment.
Hmm.
Jake, twice in two days.
Did you, uh, did you come
looking for some quality oil?
Why? Do you stock
Brandini's now?
How do you do, Mr. Brandini?
Hello, Nicole.
So, uh, what's all this?
This is the site
of my future world-renowned
dining and tasting facility.
Well, I'm afraid you
may have to relocate it,
because it appears
to be on our land.
Right through that.
What?
Um, I'll be right back.
Sure.
What brings you by, Raphael?
Well, my grandson has made
a fascinating discovery,
it seems that you
might be in violation
of our original land agreement.
Mr. Cabella, if you could
just take a look at this.
Are you arms the only
thing broken, Raphael?
Violation?
That's absurd.
Your information is way off,
according to this deed,
we have plenty of room.
Well, this deed
hasn't been witnessed.
And there's no way you can
prove its authenticity.
Based on this official map,
your property ends here.
There.
Mm,
here.
There.
Mm,
here.
We have been using
this land for decades.
Well, for now,
you'll have to stop.
An injunction, Jake filed
an injunction against me.
Here's a copy of the complaint,
she shoulda received
it this morning.
She can't proceed with any
of the construction plans
until the matter's resolved.
Look, is this really
something we should pursue?
Of course we should.
An agreement's an agreement,
the Cabellas are required
to adhere to the terms.
So many years have
already gone by.
Do you want me to
cancel my cruise?
No way, you deserve this trip,
plus, there's no chance
that Jake's theory holds up.
I know you'll figure it all out.
Do you still think
I'm good enough
to run this company on my
own? Because I'm afraid.
Oh, my dear, you are
more than good enough.
You're the future
of Cabella Oil.
I'll be back in a couple
of weeks for the court date.
You really wanna do that?
Maybe we can
settle this quietly.
They wouldn't want
the negative publicity
impacting their image.
That's true.
Maybe we can settle
this quietly.
Still working on your
construction plans?
It needs to be ready to go
once we get the green
light from the judge.
And if we don't
get the green light?
I can't let my mind go there.
I already gave a large deposit
to the construction company
before Jake
interrupted everything.
Well, Cabella could
still recover from that.
Maybe,
but I can't let my first big
move be a massive disaster,
I couldn't recover from that.
Okay, well,
before you drive yourself
crazy with the hearing,
let's focus on our
contest submission.
So this batch combines
our buttery texture
that we liked from batch 12
with the concentration
from batch 27.
No, it's still
missing something.
You always say that.
I just, I don't know what
it needs, this is hopeless.
Let's try a slight reduction
of the core temperature
on the next batch.
What would I do without you?
Develop subpar oil?
Yeah.
How's discovery progressing
on the Atkinson copyright case?
Well, the startup we
filed the suit against
definitely infringed
on the graphic, but...
But?
But if we win, the
startup will go bankrupt.
We could negotiate.
No chance.
The partners are really
impressed with you, Jake.
You both have
compelling evidence,
but I can't rule on this
without seeing a forensic
investigation first.
We're willing to do
whatever it takes, Your Honor.
So are we.
Well, even then, it'll
take time and money.
I suggest you find
a private resolution
so I can get back to judging
your olive oil submissions.
Wait,
that's it.
What is, Judge Monroe?
Whichever ranch wins the
contest also wins the land.
With all due respect, Your
Honor, you can't be serious?
Well, you're competing
anyway, aren't you?
This would save you the
trouble of litigation.
This is highly unconventional.
I know, isn't it exciting?
It would speed things up.
But what do you know
about making oil?
How hard can it be?
Why?
Are you afraid of
a little challenge?
Absolutely not.
Then we have a deal?
Deal.
What did I just do?
Did I seriously just bet
the future of the
ranch on a contest?
So it would seem.
What was I thinking?
Just relax, take a deep breath.
No, but if we, if we
lose the competition,
we won't simply be forced
to abandon construction,
I will have failed
my grandpa's belief
that I can take
over this company.
Okay, so we won't.
We won't what?
We won't lose.
You say that like
it is so simple.
Before Jake got to town,
you had all the
confidence in the world.
That was when all
that was at stake
was a trophy and my pride.
A winning submission is
still a winning submission,
no matter the prize.
I just spoke with my boss,
I'm not going back to
San Francisco until after
the contest.
If I'm gonna win this thing,
I'm gonna need to stay here.
Wonderful.
It's about time you
took some interest.
You should ask your
grandfather for some pointers.
And you'll get to
enjoy the Fall Festival,
it's the highlight of the year.
It's one, two, three.
There's forward and
then there's back two...
Top of the morning.
You sound chipper.
Well, a good night's
sleep does wonders.
Thank you. I am off to
town to grab a few things,
then it's back to
the salt mines.
I really think Adam and I are
close to cracking the recipe.
Mm, it's good.
Yep, I think we're really close.
Great.
Maybe we should call my dad
and have him settle
with the Brandinis,
instead of relying on
the results of a contest.
No, no, I won't let them take
advantage of us, not again.
I wish she wasn't so impulsive.
Oh, glad to see
you out, Raphael.
Afternoon, Judge.
Well, I reckon you won't be
golfing with us anytime soon.
Ron Evans.
Jake Brandini.
High school principal,
oil judge extraordinaire.
You know, your
grandfather spends
the better part of 18 holes
just bragging about
your accomplishments.
Is that so?
Well, that's very nice
to hear, Mr. Evans.
We should be on our way,
it would be poor form
for two of the judges
to be seen fraternizing
with the incumbent winner.
Bye now.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
So I spent all night last
night researching oil-making.
I found a surprising number of
online instructional videos.
That's a good start,
but you can't learn
about oil from research,
you have to put
your back into it.
Oh.
Okay then, well, will you
show me around the factory?
I'd love to.
Oh, god.
Oh,
let me give you a hand.
Oh, it's you.
I didn't realize, may I?
Nope.
And I thought nothing was
gonna put a damper on my day.
I will be fine, thanks.
Come on, everyone
knows you're athletic,
there's no need to be a hero.
I don't need you to rescue me,
and I am hardly a
damsel in distress.
That might be the last thing
I'd ever use to describe you.
Come on, Nicki, let me help.
The name is Nicole,
and I would rather
not accept help
from the person causing
me endless grief.
He is inescapable.
I don't see him for 15 years,
and now I can't go 10 minutes
without bumping into him.
Weren't you guys friends
when you were younger?
Not exactly.
He lived in San Francisco,
but he spent summers
here when we were kids,
and we used to meet
up by the border.
All right, so what
was he like growing up?
He always had to
have the best toys,
and then you had to endure a
lecture on all of his rules
before you could play
with any of them.
We should take this
energy, bottle it up,
and see what it
does to our flavor.
I am just frustrated,
it is hard to deal with someone
like him who has it all,
brains, privilege, good looks.
Good looks, huh?
Okay, if you like the
traditionally-handsome guys,
I suppose.
He is, he is not my type.
Uh-huh, well, he
might not be your type,
but would it kill you
to get your head out
of the olive press,
go out for a night on the town?
I go out.
Yeah, with me and our friends,
but I mean out
out, as in a date.
That is the last
thing on my mind,
and you should talk.
I just haven't met
anyone interesting yet.
You will, just takes time.
Oh, you have got
to be kidding me.
What are you doing over here?
Oh.
Good afternoon.
I needed somewhere quiet to
work while I stayed here,
so I set up a temporary office.
It also allows me to keep
an eye on my property.
Staying here, as
in Sunset Valley?
Yeah, just until
I win back the land.
You are actually taking
a spin at production,
you sure you even know
what olive oil is made of?
I can work at my job remotely
and prepare for
the contest here.
Two birds, one stone.
Is one of your birds the
culprit responsible for this?
I didn't want you
getting any ideas
about moving forward
with your expansion.
Considering you're here, I
was right to be concerned.
You always did take the
rules a little too liberally.
Okay, if you're referring to
the Sunset Valley Camp
presidential election,
I maintain I used
valid campaign tactics,
you didn't have to
file your grievances.
You shoulda
checked the handbook,
that's all I'm saying.
You are still exactly the same.
You were so upset
with me after that.
Was that why you stopped
coming to meet me here?
Yeah, totally.
Later, Jake.
Bye, Nicole.
Welcome, everyone.
We are kicking off another
fantastic Fall Festival,
so grab an apple cider
while they're still hot.
Oh, uh, I'm afraid that's taken.
And remember, the
final event on day 10
is our very prestigious
olive oil competition,
which is always quite exciting.
So grab a brochure,
we have lots of fun things
lined up over the next 10 days,
including the big race,
the Cornucopia 500.
Oh-oh.
Oh, oh.
Here you go.
Jake.
My VIP finally made it.
Come on, I saved you the
best seat in the house.
Thanks, Billy.
No problem.
Attention, all.
The sign-up for tomorrow's
apple-picking contest
is now open.
Who will be the victor?
Find out tomorrow, right
here in Sunset Valley.
I'm in.
Thank you.
Me too.
Welcome, everyone.
Okay, on my go,
you will have
exactly three minutes
to collect as many
red apples as you can
and bring your
baskets back to me.
That's red apples, no green
apples will be accepted.
Are you taking notes?
Okay, the person with
the heaviest basket
wins a dinner for two at
the Sunset Valley Diner.
Does that dinner
include a bottle of wine?
I might throw in a
bottle for a lucky someone.
On your marks,
get set,
go.
What, are you making
a pie afterwards?
- Why are you being so picky?
- I only want the best.
Oh, so typical.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Timeless saying for a reason.
That's your
one-minute mark, people,
one minute remaining!
You sure you're gonna be
able to handle all of that?
Looks a little precarious.
You're safe, safe,
you're safe, safe.
Oh.
Oh, no.
You're safe, safe,
safe, very good job.
Very safe, safe.
Safe.
And time.
Oh, come on.
Jake, I am very sorry,
but you are disqualified.
Ah, Nicole, half a
bushel, very sad.
Good job, everyone.
Nice apple picking.
Can I have
your attention, please?
With an impressive
22 pounds of apples,
the winner is Adam Caulfield.
What?
The grand prize, good sir.
Hey, at least you
and Nicole both lost.
I guess?
Well, I, for one,
was in no mood for
a Brandini/Cabella
feud-induced argument.
Yeah, but Adam won, so
it's like she won too.
How do you mean?
She's obviously
gonna be his plus-one.
We'll see.
Is your ankle
okay, Sticky Nicki?
I mean Nicole.
Old habits.
You want, uh, you want some ice?
I'm fine, it was just a
little twist, but thank you.
Why do you call her that anyway?
Sticky Nicki?
I thought everyone knew that.
We were doing a
three-legged race,
she was going way too
fast for her own good,
tripped, fell, gum
went flying in the air,
she landed on top of it.
Before we realized,
it was too late,
she had to cut off a
big chunk of her hair.
I remember that summer,
you had to wear
bangs, didn't you?
That was a bad look for you,
you shouldn't do that anymore.
What?
I'm sorry, but it's true.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
Hey there.
You kids have fun yesterday?
Sort of, but I didn't win,
and we really could've used
the time to work on the recipe.
Well, you can't work
yourself to the bone,
you should be out
enjoying yourself.
That's what I keep telling her.
You should listen to
your father, he's wise.
Okay, the contest
is seven days away,
I can consider having
some fun after that.
I might even take an
entire day off.
You can make it a spa day.
Have I ever struck you
as a spa-day kinda girl?
You are gonna at least
attend the festival activities,
aren't you?
You always love
this time of year.
Maybe, but,
have you both forgotten
that the future of the
company is at risk?
I promised Grandpa I was
ready to take the reigns,
and I can't let him down.
Whatever the outcome, we
are all here to support you.
Oh, hey, Mom.
Heading out to the factory.
Your father is delighted
at your dedication
to the contest.
Well, I'm glad,
it's time I learned more
about the family business.
Well, you used to
love to run around
and play with the
processing tools.
But once you
started high school,
you decided you didn't
wanna come back here.
Yeah, well, that's why I'm back,
to make up a bit
of that lost time.
We like getting out here
too, it's so peaceful.
So, what's going on
in San Francisco?
Well, you know.
You still seeing
that woman you told me about?
Nah, it didn't work out.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear it.
It's all right,
it's for the best,
more time to focus on work.
Speaking of which,
my firm is sending
over a box of files.
If everything
goes well with this case,
I'll be on track
to make partner.
That's great, Jake.
Yeah.
As long as it makes you happy.
Yeah.
Everyone, this is
my grandson, Jake,
I'll be showing
him around today.
Hello, everyone.
While I'm recovering,
he'll be the front line
for all things production.
This is the centrifuge
that extracts the
oil from the olives.
Bottling and labeling.
Boxing and crating.
Oh, don't worry, you'll
get the hang of it.
We all have to start somewhere.
You've always said you
wanted to learn this,
I just wish I didn't
have this busted wing
so I could give
you the real lesson
on the traditional press.
There's so much
more to this operation
than I ever realized.
Yeah, it's a lotta hard work,
but I've always enjoyed it.
I can see why.
Thanks, Granddad.
I should get back to my case.
Okay.
How's the tasting going?
Everyone seems to
be having a nice time.
Hey, where'd this come from?
I brought it
in from the living room
for a little motivation.
And what's this bottle here?
That is the Cabella Sunset,
it was the very first
recipe I helped develop.
Wow.
I'd like to try that.
Unfortunately, it
was a limited batch
we made using the antique press.
Well, at least you still
get to bust out the old girl
for your small-batch lessons.
Yeah.
I saw a bunch of people
leaving here earlier.
I was hosting a tasting for
a small group of tourists.
But when my expansion
plan goes through...
If.
When it goes through,
it will allow for
much larger groups.
So,
why here?
It's my favorite place
on the entire ranch,
because it has the
perfect sunset view.
The only place that
the Brandini factory
doesn't get in the way.
So you're blaming
me for that now?
I was just answering
your question.
Mm.
Why do you care about
this land so much?
I just wanna do what's
right for my family,
make them proud.
But you don't,
you don't know anything
about oil production.
That may be,
but every company needs strong
leadership and management.
That, I can do,
with my business acumen.
Did you seriously just
say acumen about yourself?
I have acumen to spare.
Okay.
I do wish I'd had more
hands-on experience.
And I regret how little
time I spent at the ranch
since we were kids.
You're right,
it is beautiful here.
Just...
Okay, just promise me one thing,
if you win...
When.
If.
You make sure that
nothing gets in the way
of this perfect view.
I promise.
Table 12.
Hey.
You stalking me?
Wow.
Good morning to you too.
I will have my usual, Billy.
And just so you know,
this is my go-to place,
so who is stalking who?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Everything okay?
Yeah, uh, two servers called
in sick this morning, so...
I can help out, it'll
be like old times.
Thank you.
You used to work here?
During high school,
she was the permanent
employee of the month.
Oh, well, then I
can lend a hand too.
Oh.
Wow, Jake Brandini
doing hard labor.
That I've gotta see.
You're on.
Uh, okay, let's get to work.
Let's go.
Apple pie, order up!
That's for me.
That's mine.
Thank you.
Uh, I will go get
you another one, sir.
Thank you for your patience,
this is on the house.
Thank you, Nicole.
Unbelievable.
Huh, a little greasing of the
wheel never hurt, I suppose.
Are you accusing me
of greasing the wheel?
Hey...
I think we both
know you deserve that.
Thank you.
I will get you another one.
Great.
Jake, what are you doing here?
Trying to increase
the bitterness.
Bitter is a positive, who knew?
Very good.
Winning this year is
more important than ever.
I know.
Six days left to get it right.
It's also key we stay aware
of what's happening
in the industry.
You mean check
out the competition?
In so many words.
Just ensure we're
leading trends,
not falling behind on them.
Hmm.
Welcome, everyone.
Today, we'll be using the
traditional olive oil press,
and when we're done,
you'll leave with your
own, personal blend.
Apologies for my
tardiness, everyone.
- Uh...
- Oh, please, continue.
No, I'm afraid
we're fully booked.
I think I just snagged
the last spot, online.
Everyone, please take
your place at a station.
No, you can't be here.
Why not? I'm a
paying customer.
Is there a problem with
my confirmation email?
Okay, yep, fine, fine.
Thank you.
The technique I'm
about to teach you
was developed by
Cabella Oil's founder,
and my grandpa, Frank.
Question.
Don't you mean Raphael Brandini?
We're visiting
Brandini tomorrow.
Oh, that, that
won't be necessary.
You're gonna learn everything
you need right here.
I'm gonna post this,
should I tag you?
Don't bother, Nicole
doesn't have social media.
She's old-school.
And how would you know?
Huh?
Oh, um...
Making olive oil shouldn't
be done by a formula.
You have to follow
your instincts.
Look.
See?
It's perfect.
Good job.
That consistency is really nice.
Thank you.
How am I doing, teach?
You might wanna infuse
more herbs for flavor,
but it's...
It's quite nice.
You did a
lovely job.
That was really hard
for you to say, wasn't it?
It was, yeah.
You're here at a
very scenic time,
because tomorrow,
all of the olives will actually
be harvested from the trees.
What are you building here?
We are expanding.
Oh, hey, Granddad.
Here, have a seat.
Listen,
you and Maxwell need to stop
treating me like an invalid.
You sure you don't need to
get back to San Francisco?
Nope, I promised I'd stay
until I cleared out the dispute.
Ah.
And you are the one who says
Brandinis always
keep their word.
So where'd you get that?
Oh.
It's, um...
I took a class,
at the Cabellas'.
I figured that
since you couldn't
give me the lesson yourself,
I would surprise you.
So, surprise.
Spending some time
with Nicole again, huh?
Just like when you were kids.
You knew?
Of course I knew.
You used to come back from
your little adventures
happy as a clam.
I never told your father,
because I knew he'd
put a stop to it.
And you didn't mind?
No.
I was glad you weren't burdened
by my conflict with Frank,
it had nothing to do
with you children.
Try this.
Oh, that's excellent.
Mm.
A nutty and very
harmonious flavor.
It actually reminds me
of the original batch
that Frank and I
developed together.
He must've taught Nicole well.
It was a lot of fun.
But the Brandinis aren't
exactly slacking off.
No, we aren't,
but, uh, things sure aren't
what they used to be.
Yeah, that factory does
seem to follow some guidelines
that are fairly strict with
their formulas and regulations...
That's it precisely.
Manufacturing has
become just too,
I don't know, too manufactured.
Back in my prime, I
really got my hands dirty.
That reminds me.
Look what I found.
Wow.
That takes me back.
Oh, man, we had a
lotta good times.
I really miss those days.
So what do you
think of our latest batch?
Mm, it still lacks pizzazz.
And we need to work
on our overall design,
the judges take the overall
package into consideration.
Brandini's is just so perfect.
I mean, look at
this presentation.
Yeah, but it's what's in the
bottle that really matters.
And Jake must be worried,
I mean, he did take your class.
I know.
I can't believe he had the
audacity to look me up online.
I mean, he must've
been really bored.
Uh,
you logged into my account
to look him up two
days ago, so...
That, that was different,
that was for corporate research.
None of them are just right.
- One, and two,
- Two, three, four, five,
- and three, and four, and...
- six, seven, eight.
It's an eight count.
No, it's one, and two,
and three, and four, and.
How's the submission
going, honey?
Um, well, we've narrowed
it down to these options,
but I...
I don't know which
one to choose.
Maybe you guys could
tell me what you like.
- Oh, sure.
- Yeah.
Okay, um, the first
one is more woody,
and for this one, we
incorporated floral hints.
Oh, my goodness me,
that is fantastic.
I like the taste of that one,
I can totally
serve that with food.
That is so robust.
I don't know, it
really depends on how...
You know what,
you are the expert,
you will know which
one to choose.
Yeah, I guess so.
- Oh, yeah.
- And remember,
Grandpa will be home
in a couple of days.
- Right.
- He wouldn't miss the contest
for the world.
Right.
We got dance class,
so, it's salsa day.
But listen, honey, you've
got two winners there.
They're both fantastic,
you are killing it.
Yeah?
The rosemary infused in
this batch made it unbalanced.
And this is too strong.
Back to the drawing board.
So if you guys start with
that section over there,
that'd be great.
All right, you all know
what to do, thanks, guys.
Hey, um,
I think we should use
the olives from today
in our next trial.
Okay, but as you know, they've
been on the trees longer,
so they will have a different...
Good morning.
Hi.
What, what brings you by?
I was, uh, wondering if I
could help out with the harvest?
Seriously?
Why here?
Well, the Brandinis,
we use industrial
machines for the harvest,
you guys do it the
old-fashioned way, the true way.
Still, I don't
think it's a good idea
for you to be out here.
Well, you said yourself I
should try a day in the field.
Challenge accepted.
Besides, I went into town
and rustled up proper attire.
Those boots are so pristine,
you could be in a catalog.
Oh, be nice,
I think he looks sharp,
almost authentic even.
Thank you, Adam.
So, what do you say?
Can I stay?
You promise to behave?
Alrighty then.
You can shadow me.
Yes!
Are you suggesting I
have delicate hands.
Oh, come on, don't
be so sensitive.
See, we all wear gloves.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Oh, uh, before we get started,
found something I think
you'll get a kick out of.
Look at that.
Wow.
You know, I forgot there was
a time when our grandfathers
actually used to work
the land together.
Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah.
I'll, um,
I'll show this to my grandpa
when he gets back into town,
I'm sure he'll love it.
Sounds good.
All right, let's get these
protective gloves on.
What do you think?
Am I a natural in
the making or what?
Not exactly.
Here, okay, I'll show
you how it's done.
If you take the branch like
this, and then go like that,
you actually get it
done a lot faster.
Thanks.
Yeah, you take that tree.
- Got it.
- Um, I will be over here.
- You get that one.
- Yeah.
Great.
How'd you do?
It went pretty
good, almost full.
Whoa, you really are a pro.
Yeah, well, you know,
running a ranch is so much
more than just picking olives.
I have to get better
at managing the books.
You know, I'm trying to
improve my business acumen.
Well, the guys at the ranch,
they have a program for that,
I can send it to you.
Really?
Yeah, done.
Thank you.
Thanks for today.
You're a pretty good teacher.
Well, you turned out to
be a pretty good student.
Quite helpful, so, well done.
Oh, don't go soft on me,
I won't know how to react.
Okay.
Oh, ow, okay, that's more
like the Nicole I remember.
So, staying on the ranch
must be way different
from what you're used
to in San Francisco?
You have no idea.
Do you ever get out that way?
Yeah, yeah, I drive
out pretty often,
- I go to a lot of Giants games.
- Really?
Well, my firm, we
get season tickets.
I should take you
to a game one time.
You and, you and Adam.
That would be amazing.
Yeah.
Okay, um,
you know, I should get
these cleaned and processed
before they turn.
You're a machine.
I gotta rest up
for the big race.
Wait, you're doing
the Cornucopia 500?
You know it.
See you at the finish line.
If you're lucky.
Challenge accepted.
Uh, keep 'em, for next time.
Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
welcome to the Cornucopia 500!
Racers, no bumping, pushing,
grabbing, or shoving.
You taking notes?
Always.
We want a clean race.
Hey.
Three laps for the win.
Racers, start your engines.
On your marks,
get set,
go!
No!
Eat my dust.
You're never gonna catch me,
- no, no, no.
- Oh, yeah?
Woo!
Yeah.
You're not gonna win.
No!
How does my dust taste, huh?
Jake is in the lead.
Oh, Nicole's creeping up.
This is a close one.
One lap to go.
Racers, it's your final lap.
Woo!
No way.
Good try, but not gonna happen.
Coming around the bend now.
No, no, what are you doing?
Up to the finish line.
What are you doing? No!
No way!
That is not fair!
Hey, no fair, he
said no grabbing,
you totally broke the rules.
You and your rules.
Hey, congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
Everybody's gonna
go for drinks later.
Yeah, you wanna come?
Um, you know, I'm
gonna sit this one out.
You guys have fun.
Uh, congrats.
Okay, thanks.
Check this out.
Wow.
You know what?
I think I love it.
But, you know, the contest,
it's only four days away,
and we aren't gonna win just
because of an interesting font.
Well, we aren't going to lose,
you keep saying that
this is our year.
I know.
But it is, it's more
than just a contest,
it's the company's
future at stake.
Right, so let's get
back to work, champ.
Champ.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Hey.
Yeah.
It's good timing, really.
It seems, um,
my bike had different ideas
about me fixing its chain.
Well, you have to approach
a bike with determination,
otherwise, why would it
let you climb aboard?
You know, you may have
been a better cyclist,
I mean, back in the day,
but even I know
you're mocking me.
I am.
But maybe I can, I can
show you what to do.
Be my guest.
So, you just attach
the chain here,
and once it's hooked, pull it
through, and you're all set.
There's nothing to it.
For me, at least.
Your steed awaits.
Much obliged.
You, uh, do you wanna join me?
I could, uh, we could
go around the bike path.
The bike path?
Yeah, the, uh,
famous Brandini bike path.
I could, uh, I could
show you around our side.
You know, in all these years,
I've never properly
visited Brandini's.
I'll admit, I've been curious.
Well, you let me
join your class,
the least I can do
is give you a tour.
Okay.
Nicole is so stressed.
Yeah, Jake is too.
He won't admit it,
but I can tell.
Yeah, those two.
You see the way they
look at each other?
Oh, yeah.
It's so obvious.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, uh, I better
get back to the ranch.
Are you, uh,
going to the concert
tomorrow night?
Yeah, you bet I am.
I'll see you there.
Thank you.
Yeah, take care.
Come on,
there's no way you could prefer
pizza over a steak dinner.
You haven't lived until
you've tried my Chateaubriand.
Is that like a cheese steak?
All right,
you know what, I give up.
Well, maybe you can
make it for me sometime
and show me what I'm missing.
Okay, fine, as long as you
bring the bread and olive oil.
Hey, um,
how is your submission for the
contest coming along anyway?
Uh, pretty good, I think.
We've been working really
hard, I learned a lot.
How about you?
Oh, it's, uh,
it's a masterpiece.
Do you ever wonder what
it would've been like
if your granddad hadn't walked
away from the partnership?
Walked away?
That is not how I
would describe it.
What?
Raphael went behind his back
and started making
deals without him,
how else should my
grandpa have reacted?
Wait, that's what Frank says?
According to my granddad,
Frank wouldn't listen to reason
about expanding the
business, together.
No wonder you think
such terrible things
about me and my family.
What do you mean?
No, I don't.
I heard you.
The last summer you spent here,
I was waiting for
you by the border.
And?
And you were with
your dad, so I hid.
I didn't want you
getting in trouble
for hanging out with me.
And that's when I
heard you complaining
about how annoying I was.
That doesn't sound right,
what specifically did I say?
That you couldn't
stand being around me,
and you were very firm.
I think you misunderstood.
I was talking about
my summer tutor.
Are you sure?
Definitely.
She was always giving
me extra homework.
I mean, who does
that? That's cruel.
Yeah, it is.
I never woulda said that
about you, or your family.
Oh.
After all this time, I can't
believe I had it wrong.
And that's why you
stopped coming to meet me.
I never understood what I
did to make you so upset.
Jake.
Oh, we've been spotted.
Hey, Granddad.
Nice to see you, Mr. Brandini.
Oh, hello, Nicole.
This is incredible.
Oh, personally, I think
it's a little ostentatious,
but my son said it would
be good for the brand.
Jake was just telling me
about all the gourmet meals
he likes to prepare.
Oh, so you've
upgraded from takeout?
Uh, okay,
so I don't have time to
wile away in the kitchen,
but I can actually make
a few signature dishes.
Mm.
And I was gonna
bring you some of my oil.
Uh, speaking of your oil,
I sampled some of the batch
that Jake made in your class,
you really know
what you're doing.
Well, I learned from the best.
That you did.
Frank should be
very proud of you,
you definitely
inherited his gift.
That is, that's very
kind of you to say.
It's true.
And on that note, I
should get back to my work.
Yeah, me too, got
a competition to win.
Yeah, you sure about that?
Yeah, speaking of competitions,
race you to the post.
All right, you're on.
See you later.
You're not gonna beat me today.
Not again.
No, no, no, get back here.
This is not fair!
Mm-hmm, this one incorporates
the lemon flavor.
Mm, it isn't half bad.
Guess I might be a real
Brandini after all.
Okay.
Adam, how's it going?
I think we're getting
there, it's going pretty good.
Oh, well, look who it
is, the famous Brandinis.
Are you enjoying the festival?
I, for one, am looking forward
to finally putting our
reclaimed land to good use.
What are, what are
you trying to say?
I think, um,
what he meant to say is that
the Cabellas have
untapped potential.
Unlike Brandini's,
Cabella's not all
about the bottom line.
Well, perhaps that's
part of the problem.
Well, I just wanted to say
I was very impressed by
your accounting program.
You showed her our system?
It's just an accounting tool.
Let's go.
We'll see you at the contest.
It's okay.
Have you forgotten
that this contest
determines Cabella's
entire future?
What?
No, of course not.
All I'm saying is you're
starting to act like
he's no longer the villain.
All I'm saying is
maybe he isn't as bad
as I originally thought.
Hey, Adam?
Yes?
I was thinking
maybe we should submit
something more traditional.
You can't be serious?
We finally tweaked the recipe
and now you wanna
start all over again?
I don't know, it
could be interesting.
If you wanna wow the
judges and compete with Jake,
we're gonna need to present
something with a modern edge.
Yes, yes, yes, you're right.
Just forget I said anything,
let's finalize the
recipe we have.
I think
that's it.
Great job, guys.
Everything all right?
I don't know, you tell me.
Mm.
What do you think?
It's our signature flavor
with a hint of lemon.
Is that pepper I'm detecting?
Your senses do not
deceive you, Granddad.
You still got it.
We could win with this.
But, uh, is winning
really everything?
Well, what do you mean?
I don't know,
what about discovering what
really makes you happy?
Didn't you say you
miss the good old days,
when you and Frank
first started the ranch?
Yeah.
You ever consider making amends?
He's not interested in that.
You sure?
Honeys, I'm home.
Grandpa!
You're back, hey!
Hey.
How was the trip, Frank?
Ah, plenty of time
to recap all of that,
tell me what's been going on
with this border situation.
Uh, we will know
in a couple days.
I'd give anything
to show that Raphael
who the real talent is.
He's actually been
really sweet to me.
Jake has been quite reasonable
about everything too.
What?
Did I come home to an
alternate universe?
I'm serious, Grandpa.
Have you ever properly
sat down with Raphael
to hear his side of the story?
Now why on earth
would he do that?
I'm afraid, my dear,
Raphael and I have nothing
to say to each other.
I just think it's possible
we've misconstrued things.
What are you suggesting?
That the Brandinis
might not be so bad.
Hey, Julie.
Yeah, I've had a good visit,
but I'll be back Monday.
Listen,
have you considered
offering a settlement
on the copyright case?
I understand.
Full steam ahead.
Hi, thank you.
How you doing?
Good to see you.
Hey, Nicole, there you are.
Hey.
Oh, I'll just take
one, please, thank you.
Oh, ladies first.
I'll take the next one.
You sure?
Yeah, it's fine.
Okay.
Don't be absurd.
What?
Yeah, plenty of room.
What's going on?
Whoa, okay.
Thank you, thank you for that.
It sure is beautiful out.
Hm, Sunset Valley
has its moments.
It sure does.
You excited to go home?
Yeah, it'll be nice to go
back to the grind, I guess.
Is there, is there
someone to get back to?
Nah.
To be completely honest,
I'm spending so much
time with my clients,
I really haven't had
time for anyone else.
How about yourself?
Pretty focused on my career too.
You're lucky.
You've always known
what you wanted to do.
Yeah, always, running Cabella
Oil, just like my Grandpa.
And it happened.
You are boss lady.
Yeah, for the
next few days at least.
What's that supposed to mean?
Have you already forgotten
about our little wager?
No, but, I mean, even
if I win, you know,
you can always expand on a
different part of the ranch,
right?
We'd have to build from scratch,
and we don't have
the capital, so...
Why didn't you say anything?
Come on, would
it have made a difference?
Plus, I wanna win or
lose, fair and square.
Um, I'm gonna go get us
all a drink at the bar,
uh, Adam, you wanna come?
You got it.
Sorry.
It's okay to like her, you know?
Nicole?
I do like her.
I mean, like her like her.
But she's dating Adam.
She's not dating Adam.
Jake.
Oh, hey, Granddad.
Come on, let's go find a seat.
Yeah.
Here, right here.
Okay, cool.
- Uh...
- Hey there, how are you?
How are you?
Doing good.
Hi.
Hey.
Um, you know what, uh, can
you, can you give this to Jake?
I should sit with my parents.
Yeah, no problem.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
All right, we're gonna slow
things down a little bit now.
I think they're
playing our song.
Ask the girl to dance already.
May I have this dance, Nicole?
I'm a, I'm a really bad
dancer, two left feet.
That's perfect, I
have two right feet.
It's really easy, okay?
Okay.
Give me your hand, right here.
Okay.
And this hand goes out.
Nice, wow.
Look at me.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, that was
quite the evening.
Yes.
Yeah, it was nice.
I'm sorry,
are you calling the dance that
you shared with Jake nice?
One song, there's nothing to it.
Nicole, come on, it's me,
you don't have to pretend.
I know there's something
going on between you and Jake,
just admit it.
Look,
I mean, I am glad we cleared
the air after all these years,
that's all.
Oh, besides,
come on, he lives
in San Francisco.
San Francisco's
only a drive away.
You won't believe it.
What's gotten into you, son?
You have to look at the
documents I just found.
It could make all
the difference.
Stop pestering me,
and let's get back
to the task at hand.
Tomorrow is judgment
day, literally.
Fine, I'll pester you later.
Okay, good luck.
I'll be going into town
to run some errands later.
What's this?
Our final entry?
Final entry.
Thank you, for everything.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Sure you wanna do this?
If we wanna really win,
it's the only thing to do.
I'm proud of you, Jake.
That's your winner, is it?
I hope so.
Well, you better put
that somewhere safe,
the Brandinis are
liable to interfere.
Come on, are you saying they
would sabotage the contest?
That's ridiculous.
If the shoe fits.
According to this
partnership agreement,
October 12th, 1976.
Well, it appears you are
absolutely right, Jake,
and I'll take care of
the construction
permit this afternoon.
Thanks, Judge.
- Mm-hmm.
- I look forward
to finally resolving this issue.
Consider it done.
Well, I'll see you
after the contest.
Yes, you will.
I've gotta run.
Thanks.
Okay.
Oh, hello, Nicole.
Hi, Judge Monroe.
Hi.
Hi.
What, uh, what's going on?
Oh, uh, you know, just
taking care of some business.
Yeah, I saw you
talking to Judge Monroe.
Yeah, it was just, you
know, um, zoning ordinance,
construction permits,
that kinda thing.
Okay, and does this
construction permit
involve me and Cabella?
Wait, what?
Because it sure sounded
like you were trying
to sway Judge Monroe
in your favor.
You think I would
do that to you?
I know what I heard, Jake.
No, that wasn't what...
You know, I guess
I should've expected it,
given your family history.
Please, let me explain,
I took a document from my...
No, I can't,
I can't believe that I
thought you were different.
I defended you.
You skipped dinner.
You're not still
working, are you?
Not exactly, just
stewing, more like.
You can stew on a full
stomach, I fixed you a plate.
Thanks, but, I don't
have much of an appetite.
Look, honey, I know you're
nervous about the competition,
but we're all so proud of you.
Thanks, Grandpa.
But it's more than that,
I thought that I
understood a situation,
but it turns out I just
had it completely wrong.
I'm sorry, sweetheart,
that's an awful feeling.
Sometimes you just have
to trust your instincts.
Well, that is the problem,
my instincts seem to be way off.
When it comes to making
olive oil, they're spot-on.
Eat this food your mother
made, get some rest,
you'll feel better
in the morning.
Grandpa's orders.
Thanks, Grandpa.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Welcome to the Sunset
Valley Olive Oil Competition.
Where is she? I've
been calling her all morning.
Sunset Valley treats olive oil
with the utmost seriousness.
We'll be selecting the winner
based on a number of categories:
aroma, flavor, texture,
and finally, presentation.
Shall we begin?
Oh, and while we deliberate,
please feel free to taste
the samples in front of you.
Wait, Judge Monroe, wait!
Wait!
I have to change
the Cabella entry.
That's highly unconventional.
But not against the rules,
she did make it in
just the nick of time.
This is Cabella Sunrise.
What is she doing?
Trusting her instincts.
Here you go.
Oh, sorry, here, there you are.
This is Cabella Sunrise.
We got this in the bag.
I wouldn't be so sure, son.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
You gonna go say hi to Jake?
There's no point.
Do they even know what you did?
It doesn't matter.
Hey, Billy, come try these.
Mm, wow.
Mm.
Oh, my, Nicole, this
is, this is amazing.
Thank you.
This Brandini's
isn't so bad either.
Raphael,
well done.
Why, uh, thank you, Frank.
Your granddaughter
did a wonderful job.
She must've had a great teacher.
We have deliberated, and
we've come to a decision.
Guys, no matter what happens,
I'm going to save up
and find a way to make
the expansion happen,
even if it takes
a few extra years.
That's the Cabella spirit.
And it was unanimous.
Congratulations to
Cabella Oil!
- Yeah!
- We won!
We won, we won, we won!
Judge Monroe.
Nicole, what are you doing here?
I am here to
formalize everything
now that we've won the land.
Jake didn't tell you?
Tell me what?
Oh, before the contest,
he signed a declaration that
the land belongs to you.
But, but why?
He found more documents
that showed your border line
was correct all along.
No, no, but the other day,
I overheard you
and Jake talking,
it was something about
my construction permit.
That wasn't about
you, that was for Billy.
I have to go.
There's my little champion.
What a day for the
Cabella family.
We finally got the
recognition we deserve.
Grandpa, none of that matters.
We keep misjudging things
and jumping to conclusions
when it comes to the Brandinis.
They deserve for us
to give them a chance.
Excuse me, Grandpa, there's
something I have to do.
Hey, guys.
Well, all hail
the conquering hero.
Yeah, uh, I don't really
feel like much of a hero.
What's wrong?
Is Jake really helping you
with a construction permit?
He sure is.
Yeah, all your talk
about expanding the ranch
got me thinking,
I wanna put a hotel
above this restaurant.
Jake offered his legal
expertise no charge.
Oh, no.
Have you seen him?
I've phoned him a million times.
He came over here
earlier, to say goodbye.
Yeah, he already left.
Frank?
What are you doing here?
I, uh,
thought you might wanna look
at these old photos with me.
They're of the two of
us from back in the day.
Yeah, I'd love that.
And maybe when
your arm is healed,
we can whip up a
batch of oil together
on the original press,
for old times' sake.
Okay, uh,
but only if you let me add
my spices to the blend.
Not on your life.
You never change, do you?
Jake.
Wait, you're still here?
Yeah.
I know, I know, I'm not
supposed to be on your property,
but I just wanted to enjoy
the view before I took off.
I'll get outta your way.
Wait, no, I, I
tried calling you.
My phone's dead.
It's kinda nice actually.
I know what you did for me.
Have you,
have you ever met someone
with a habit of making
impulsive decisions?
'Cause I have that habit.
I had the wrong
impression about you.
Well, I mean, first
I had it wrong,
and then I thought
you weren't so bad,
and I had it wrong again...
Nicole?
Yes?
Are you trying
to apologize to me?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes, I am.
But, okay, I still
don't understand
why you couldn't explain to me
what you were doing
at the courthouse.
I was torn,
you said you wanted to win
or lose fair and square.
Yeah, I did want that,
but you, you just let me say
those awful things to you,
and I feel terrible.
I'm so sorry.
So, you off to San Francisco?
Yep.
To tell my boss I'm going
to resign from the firm.
Really?
Yeah.
I wanna work on the ranch.
For real?
So, um,
I mean, are you ready to put
that acumen of
yours to good use?
You know it.
So, uh, just a warning,
you might be seeing
a little more of me.
Oh, I think I'd like that.
I mean, especially,
especially if you
wear your new boots.
I think I can
agree to those terms.
Finally, a
successful negotiation.
You really are
something, Nicole.
I'll, uh, I'll race
you to the factory.
Oh, it is on.
Okay.
Get back here.
No, no.
You won.
Oh, yes.
Always.
Take in all the sunshine
Bottle up the rain
Go where the wind blows
Let it show the way
Open all the windows
Let in all the light
You can pull the stars down
Paint the perfect sky
Oh a-oh a-oh
Life's what you make it
Life's what you make it
I see a light shine
Wanna let it in from the outside
Feel it on my skin
right away, away, away
Oh
You got what I like
When you're not around,
I don't feel right
I could use you right now
Right away, away, away
Away, away, away
Daylight
Put the sun on me now
I'm gonna soak up
What you're giving
Daylight
There's something about
you when you show up
Oh, I'm living
I come alive, alive, alive every time
When you do, you do, you do, you do
I come alive, alive
when I see you alive
Yes, I do, I do, I do, I do, uh-huh
Grandpa, good, you're here.
Hey.
Did you see the new, flashy
Brandini sign on your way in?
They love reminding people
about their contest wins.
Not this time.
It'll only be fair for
a ranch like Cabella,
where we actually do the
work ourselves, to win.
I know.
Oh.
Oh.
Hi, we didn't
hear you come home.
How could you over the music?
Your mother, your mo...
Your mother signed us up
for, uh, for a dance class,
it's our first day.
Dance class?
Seriously?
May I remind you of our
ill-fated father/daughter dance
in third grade?
A little embarrassment
for my only daughter
was worth it for the
grin on her face.
I mean, it's not
like I was much better.
It's the Cabella curse,
two left feet.
Before you go,
there's something
we need to discuss.
All right.
Ready?
Grandpa has decided it's
time for him to retire.
And I'm gonna take
over Cabella Oil.
Are you sure?
I wanna relax, travel the world,
but my protege here will
continue the Cabella legacy.
This is such wonderful news.
Do you feel like you're ready
for this responsibility, Nicole?
Of course she is.
Grandpa has been
training me my entire life,
and I have big ideas to take
the ranch to the next level.
Beginning with the competition.
You're entering again?
Obviously.
I just don't wanna see
you disappointed, honey.
She can't help herself.
Olive oil is in her blood.
Heck, it may even be her blood.
Adam and I have been studying
new techniques for our recipe,
and I really think we finally
have a shot this year.
Oh, guys, one second.
Granddad, how are you?
Hiya, Jake.
Hey, it's olive-harvest season,
I thought perhaps
you'd like to come down
to Sunset Valley
for the weekend?
- Uh, this weekend?
- I could probably give you
that traditional olive oil
lesson we've been planning.
It's perfect timing,
we're developing our submission
for the annual contest.
Well, you know I'd
love to, uh, but...
But you've got work
to keep you busy.
Yeah, actually I do.
In fact, I'm due
in court right now.
No, of course.
Hey, break a leg.
Thanks, Granddad, I will.
Ready to work on another batch?
Yes, I am.
But first, guess what,
I'm officially in
charge of Cabella.
What?
Oh, my god, that's amazing!
But, wait, I'm not gonna have to
start calling you boss, am I?
Well, technically...
After working
together for six years?
Six years?
Has it been that long?
It was only supposed
to be for a summer
while you apprentice with Frank,
but here I am.
Head ranch hand,
and my best friend.
Well, consider this best
friend thoroughly impressed.
So what are you working on here?
Um, it's my concept for
expanding the tasting facility.
I just, you know, I don't know
if I'm ready to take on
a big renovation like this.
Well, I approve.
Have you found a contractor?
Yep.
And I filed a
construction permit.
I am so proud of you.
Okay, let's get cracking,
because this olive oil contest
isn't gonna win itself.
So let's go.
Yep.
Jake,
congrats on the big win.
Great job.
Thank you, Julie.
Oh.
Of course.
We'll talk later?
Right.
Hey, Mom, great news...
What do you mean,
is Granddad okay?
I'm on my way.
Can you, uh, take
care of this for me?
Okay, before Grandpa
leaves on his vacation,
I wanted to show
you all of my plans
for expanding the ranch.
Wow.
You weren't kidding
about having grand ideas.
Well, it's still
a work in progress,
but this is what I had in mind.
We'd offer the same
tastings we already do,
but on a much bigger scale.
We'd add a terrace with a bistro
and finally showcase
the beautiful view.
Adam had some really great ideas
for its rustic, chic design.
Aww, Adam is such a sweetie.
I don't know why the two
of you aren't together.
I'm hardly his type.
Let's stay focused on the plan.
So, what are your thoughts?
Well, if you can pull it
off, it'll be wonderful.
What do you think, Dad?
I love it.
Really?
Yeah.
Yes.
Mom.
Jake, how was the drive?
What does that matter?
How's Granddad?
Well, you know...
He is perfectly all right.
And I do not need this thing.
Ow!
He fell and broke his arm.
Dad, you're anything
but all right, Dad.
Jake, what on earth
are you doing here?
Well, Mom said you
were in the hospital,
and so I came right away.
Honestly, Eleanor, did you
have to make such a fuss?
Come on, let's get you home.
You were in the hospital.
Oh, I know,
you're a sweet, sweet girl,
but really, there's
nothing wrong with me.
Mom, why did you
make it sound like
he was having a
medical emergency?
Well, I didn't know how
serious his injury was
when I spoke to you.
Besides, I thought that it
might motivate you to come.
You're kidding?
I was frantic.
Well, if you visited more often,
I wouldn't have
to be so creative.
Thanks. What can I do
for you, my good man?
Can I get a cold
brew to go, please?
I'm afraid we only
carry the hard stuff here.
That's fine.
Jake.
- Billy.
- Is that you?
What are you doing
in Sunset Valley?
Yeah, yeah, still here.
Big fish, small
pond, as they say.
Hmm.
I bought this place a few
years back, it's my spot now.
Well, that's great.
You're no slouch either,
look at this getup,
I'm gonna have to
charge you double.
For this service, hardly.
Traitor.
No, no, we are an
equal-opportunity supplier.
We don't take sides here.
Because if you did, you'd
have to choose Cabella.
Hey, Billy.
Hey, I'll go grab your order.
Thanks.
Wow.
You sure clean up nice.
Excuse me?
You don't recognize me?
Bit of a hit to the ego,
but I think I can recover.
Oh, all you had to say was ego
and the memories just came
flooding back.
If it isn't Jake Brandini,
ghost of childhood's past.
You still living with
your folks at the ranch?
Oh, actually, I run Cabella now.
Wow, congrats, I remember
that was always the dream.
You remember something
I said when we were kids?
Uh, I also remember that
time where you tripped and fell
after we raced to the factory.
Yes, but if
memory serves, I won, so...
Yeah, that part, I don't recall.
Oh, no, you don't recall, huh?
No.
Okay.
Well, time sure flies
when you're becoming a
big-time corporate lawyer.
I...
That's, I heard
that's what you do.
Oh, did you?
Uh, thanks, Billy.
Here you go.
Oh, thanks.
Well, that was sure
a blast from the past.
See you in, what,
another 15 years?
Bye, Sticky Nicki.
Nobody calls me that anymore.
So, how long you in town anyway?
Head back to San
Francisco tomorrow.
I guess those tech zillionaires
aren't gonna sue themselves.
Someone's gotta do it.
You know, on my way back,
I noticed the Cabellas are
building near the property line.
Anyway, hey, Granddad,
maybe after breakfast,
you can give me that
lesson we've been planning.
Oh, no, he's on strict
orders to take it easy.
We still don't know
what caused him to fall,
and he shouldn't be
operating any machinery.
Okay.
Well, how about a
stroll of the property?
To the Cabella border and
back, for old times' sake.
Yeah.
I don't know what
ever appealed to you
about going over there.
Not after the way Frank Cabella
treated your grandfather.
Are you guys ever
gonna let that go?
I don't see why your new terrace
has to be so close to
the Brandini border.
How can you handle the
proximity to that family?
Based on the budget,
we can only afford to expand
the existing facility,
not start fresh.
And it should be fine.
I've never seen anyone
from Brandini's over there.
Mr. Cabella,
didn't you guys start
the ranch together?
What went wrong?
Well...
Here we go again.
Right out of the gate,
we were doing better
than we expected.
I wanted to make some big moves.
Raphael was offered a
lucrative opportunity to expand,
so he decided to squeeze me out.
I begged Frank to join in
on the international project,
but he refused.
He started making
deals behind my back.
All I wanted was to confirm
that the offers were sound
before I presented them.
He was willing to
abandon years of friendship
just to build an empire.
He never even let me explain.
So we split up the ranch
and went our separate ways.
To this day,
I've never met anyone
who knew his way around
an olive oil press
better than Frank Cabella.
The Cabellas only
care about being right.
The Brandinis only care
about the bottom line.
Come on.
Let's go for that stroll.
Sure, Granddad.
Hey, I wanna show you
the old map that I found.
Cabellas and that property line.
Are you sure this
map is accurate?
I don't know why it
wouldn't be, why do you ask?
'Cause based on
these property lines,
the border goes right through
that, which is encroachment.
Hmm.
Jake, twice in two days.
Did you, uh, did you come
looking for some quality oil?
Why? Do you stock
Brandini's now?
How do you do, Mr. Brandini?
Hello, Nicole.
So, uh, what's all this?
This is the site
of my future world-renowned
dining and tasting facility.
Well, I'm afraid you
may have to relocate it,
because it appears
to be on our land.
Right through that.
What?
Um, I'll be right back.
Sure.
What brings you by, Raphael?
Well, my grandson has made
a fascinating discovery,
it seems that you
might be in violation
of our original land agreement.
Mr. Cabella, if you could
just take a look at this.
Are you arms the only
thing broken, Raphael?
Violation?
That's absurd.
Your information is way off,
according to this deed,
we have plenty of room.
Well, this deed
hasn't been witnessed.
And there's no way you can
prove its authenticity.
Based on this official map,
your property ends here.
There.
Mm,
here.
There.
Mm,
here.
We have been using
this land for decades.
Well, for now,
you'll have to stop.
An injunction, Jake filed
an injunction against me.
Here's a copy of the complaint,
she shoulda received
it this morning.
She can't proceed with any
of the construction plans
until the matter's resolved.
Look, is this really
something we should pursue?
Of course we should.
An agreement's an agreement,
the Cabellas are required
to adhere to the terms.
So many years have
already gone by.
Do you want me to
cancel my cruise?
No way, you deserve this trip,
plus, there's no chance
that Jake's theory holds up.
I know you'll figure it all out.
Do you still think
I'm good enough
to run this company on my
own? Because I'm afraid.
Oh, my dear, you are
more than good enough.
You're the future
of Cabella Oil.
I'll be back in a couple
of weeks for the court date.
You really wanna do that?
Maybe we can
settle this quietly.
They wouldn't want
the negative publicity
impacting their image.
That's true.
Maybe we can settle
this quietly.
Still working on your
construction plans?
It needs to be ready to go
once we get the green
light from the judge.
And if we don't
get the green light?
I can't let my mind go there.
I already gave a large deposit
to the construction company
before Jake
interrupted everything.
Well, Cabella could
still recover from that.
Maybe,
but I can't let my first big
move be a massive disaster,
I couldn't recover from that.
Okay, well,
before you drive yourself
crazy with the hearing,
let's focus on our
contest submission.
So this batch combines
our buttery texture
that we liked from batch 12
with the concentration
from batch 27.
No, it's still
missing something.
You always say that.
I just, I don't know what
it needs, this is hopeless.
Let's try a slight reduction
of the core temperature
on the next batch.
What would I do without you?
Develop subpar oil?
Yeah.
How's discovery progressing
on the Atkinson copyright case?
Well, the startup we
filed the suit against
definitely infringed
on the graphic, but...
But?
But if we win, the
startup will go bankrupt.
We could negotiate.
No chance.
The partners are really
impressed with you, Jake.
You both have
compelling evidence,
but I can't rule on this
without seeing a forensic
investigation first.
We're willing to do
whatever it takes, Your Honor.
So are we.
Well, even then, it'll
take time and money.
I suggest you find
a private resolution
so I can get back to judging
your olive oil submissions.
Wait,
that's it.
What is, Judge Monroe?
Whichever ranch wins the
contest also wins the land.
With all due respect, Your
Honor, you can't be serious?
Well, you're competing
anyway, aren't you?
This would save you the
trouble of litigation.
This is highly unconventional.
I know, isn't it exciting?
It would speed things up.
But what do you know
about making oil?
How hard can it be?
Why?
Are you afraid of
a little challenge?
Absolutely not.
Then we have a deal?
Deal.
What did I just do?
Did I seriously just bet
the future of the
ranch on a contest?
So it would seem.
What was I thinking?
Just relax, take a deep breath.
No, but if we, if we
lose the competition,
we won't simply be forced
to abandon construction,
I will have failed
my grandpa's belief
that I can take
over this company.
Okay, so we won't.
We won't what?
We won't lose.
You say that like
it is so simple.
Before Jake got to town,
you had all the
confidence in the world.
That was when all
that was at stake
was a trophy and my pride.
A winning submission is
still a winning submission,
no matter the prize.
I just spoke with my boss,
I'm not going back to
San Francisco until after
the contest.
If I'm gonna win this thing,
I'm gonna need to stay here.
Wonderful.
It's about time you
took some interest.
You should ask your
grandfather for some pointers.
And you'll get to
enjoy the Fall Festival,
it's the highlight of the year.
It's one, two, three.
There's forward and
then there's back two...
Top of the morning.
You sound chipper.
Well, a good night's
sleep does wonders.
Thank you. I am off to
town to grab a few things,
then it's back to
the salt mines.
I really think Adam and I are
close to cracking the recipe.
Mm, it's good.
Yep, I think we're really close.
Great.
Maybe we should call my dad
and have him settle
with the Brandinis,
instead of relying on
the results of a contest.
No, no, I won't let them take
advantage of us, not again.
I wish she wasn't so impulsive.
Oh, glad to see
you out, Raphael.
Afternoon, Judge.
Well, I reckon you won't be
golfing with us anytime soon.
Ron Evans.
Jake Brandini.
High school principal,
oil judge extraordinaire.
You know, your
grandfather spends
the better part of 18 holes
just bragging about
your accomplishments.
Is that so?
Well, that's very nice
to hear, Mr. Evans.
We should be on our way,
it would be poor form
for two of the judges
to be seen fraternizing
with the incumbent winner.
Bye now.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
So I spent all night last
night researching oil-making.
I found a surprising number of
online instructional videos.
That's a good start,
but you can't learn
about oil from research,
you have to put
your back into it.
Oh.
Okay then, well, will you
show me around the factory?
I'd love to.
Oh, god.
Oh,
let me give you a hand.
Oh, it's you.
I didn't realize, may I?
Nope.
And I thought nothing was
gonna put a damper on my day.
I will be fine, thanks.
Come on, everyone
knows you're athletic,
there's no need to be a hero.
I don't need you to rescue me,
and I am hardly a
damsel in distress.
That might be the last thing
I'd ever use to describe you.
Come on, Nicki, let me help.
The name is Nicole,
and I would rather
not accept help
from the person causing
me endless grief.
He is inescapable.
I don't see him for 15 years,
and now I can't go 10 minutes
without bumping into him.
Weren't you guys friends
when you were younger?
Not exactly.
He lived in San Francisco,
but he spent summers
here when we were kids,
and we used to meet
up by the border.
All right, so what
was he like growing up?
He always had to
have the best toys,
and then you had to endure a
lecture on all of his rules
before you could play
with any of them.
We should take this
energy, bottle it up,
and see what it
does to our flavor.
I am just frustrated,
it is hard to deal with someone
like him who has it all,
brains, privilege, good looks.
Good looks, huh?
Okay, if you like the
traditionally-handsome guys,
I suppose.
He is, he is not my type.
Uh-huh, well, he
might not be your type,
but would it kill you
to get your head out
of the olive press,
go out for a night on the town?
I go out.
Yeah, with me and our friends,
but I mean out
out, as in a date.
That is the last
thing on my mind,
and you should talk.
I just haven't met
anyone interesting yet.
You will, just takes time.
Oh, you have got
to be kidding me.
What are you doing over here?
Oh.
Good afternoon.
I needed somewhere quiet to
work while I stayed here,
so I set up a temporary office.
It also allows me to keep
an eye on my property.
Staying here, as
in Sunset Valley?
Yeah, just until
I win back the land.
You are actually taking
a spin at production,
you sure you even know
what olive oil is made of?
I can work at my job remotely
and prepare for
the contest here.
Two birds, one stone.
Is one of your birds the
culprit responsible for this?
I didn't want you
getting any ideas
about moving forward
with your expansion.
Considering you're here, I
was right to be concerned.
You always did take the
rules a little too liberally.
Okay, if you're referring to
the Sunset Valley Camp
presidential election,
I maintain I used
valid campaign tactics,
you didn't have to
file your grievances.
You shoulda
checked the handbook,
that's all I'm saying.
You are still exactly the same.
You were so upset
with me after that.
Was that why you stopped
coming to meet me here?
Yeah, totally.
Later, Jake.
Bye, Nicole.
Welcome, everyone.
We are kicking off another
fantastic Fall Festival,
so grab an apple cider
while they're still hot.
Oh, uh, I'm afraid that's taken.
And remember, the
final event on day 10
is our very prestigious
olive oil competition,
which is always quite exciting.
So grab a brochure,
we have lots of fun things
lined up over the next 10 days,
including the big race,
the Cornucopia 500.
Oh-oh.
Oh, oh.
Here you go.
Jake.
My VIP finally made it.
Come on, I saved you the
best seat in the house.
Thanks, Billy.
No problem.
Attention, all.
The sign-up for tomorrow's
apple-picking contest
is now open.
Who will be the victor?
Find out tomorrow, right
here in Sunset Valley.
I'm in.
Thank you.
Me too.
Welcome, everyone.
Okay, on my go,
you will have
exactly three minutes
to collect as many
red apples as you can
and bring your
baskets back to me.
That's red apples, no green
apples will be accepted.
Are you taking notes?
Okay, the person with
the heaviest basket
wins a dinner for two at
the Sunset Valley Diner.
Does that dinner
include a bottle of wine?
I might throw in a
bottle for a lucky someone.
On your marks,
get set,
go.
What, are you making
a pie afterwards?
- Why are you being so picky?
- I only want the best.
Oh, so typical.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Timeless saying for a reason.
That's your
one-minute mark, people,
one minute remaining!
You sure you're gonna be
able to handle all of that?
Looks a little precarious.
You're safe, safe,
you're safe, safe.
Oh.
Oh, no.
You're safe, safe,
safe, very good job.
Very safe, safe.
Safe.
And time.
Oh, come on.
Jake, I am very sorry,
but you are disqualified.
Ah, Nicole, half a
bushel, very sad.
Good job, everyone.
Nice apple picking.
Can I have
your attention, please?
With an impressive
22 pounds of apples,
the winner is Adam Caulfield.
What?
The grand prize, good sir.
Hey, at least you
and Nicole both lost.
I guess?
Well, I, for one,
was in no mood for
a Brandini/Cabella
feud-induced argument.
Yeah, but Adam won, so
it's like she won too.
How do you mean?
She's obviously
gonna be his plus-one.
We'll see.
Is your ankle
okay, Sticky Nicki?
I mean Nicole.
Old habits.
You want, uh, you want some ice?
I'm fine, it was just a
little twist, but thank you.
Why do you call her that anyway?
Sticky Nicki?
I thought everyone knew that.
We were doing a
three-legged race,
she was going way too
fast for her own good,
tripped, fell, gum
went flying in the air,
she landed on top of it.
Before we realized,
it was too late,
she had to cut off a
big chunk of her hair.
I remember that summer,
you had to wear
bangs, didn't you?
That was a bad look for you,
you shouldn't do that anymore.
What?
I'm sorry, but it's true.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
Hey there.
You kids have fun yesterday?
Sort of, but I didn't win,
and we really could've used
the time to work on the recipe.
Well, you can't work
yourself to the bone,
you should be out
enjoying yourself.
That's what I keep telling her.
You should listen to
your father, he's wise.
Okay, the contest
is seven days away,
I can consider having
some fun after that.
I might even take an
entire day off.
You can make it a spa day.
Have I ever struck you
as a spa-day kinda girl?
You are gonna at least
attend the festival activities,
aren't you?
You always love
this time of year.
Maybe, but,
have you both forgotten
that the future of the
company is at risk?
I promised Grandpa I was
ready to take the reigns,
and I can't let him down.
Whatever the outcome, we
are all here to support you.
Oh, hey, Mom.
Heading out to the factory.
Your father is delighted
at your dedication
to the contest.
Well, I'm glad,
it's time I learned more
about the family business.
Well, you used to
love to run around
and play with the
processing tools.
But once you
started high school,
you decided you didn't
wanna come back here.
Yeah, well, that's why I'm back,
to make up a bit
of that lost time.
We like getting out here
too, it's so peaceful.
So, what's going on
in San Francisco?
Well, you know.
You still seeing
that woman you told me about?
Nah, it didn't work out.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear it.
It's all right,
it's for the best,
more time to focus on work.
Speaking of which,
my firm is sending
over a box of files.
If everything
goes well with this case,
I'll be on track
to make partner.
That's great, Jake.
Yeah.
As long as it makes you happy.
Yeah.
Everyone, this is
my grandson, Jake,
I'll be showing
him around today.
Hello, everyone.
While I'm recovering,
he'll be the front line
for all things production.
This is the centrifuge
that extracts the
oil from the olives.
Bottling and labeling.
Boxing and crating.
Oh, don't worry, you'll
get the hang of it.
We all have to start somewhere.
You've always said you
wanted to learn this,
I just wish I didn't
have this busted wing
so I could give
you the real lesson
on the traditional press.
There's so much
more to this operation
than I ever realized.
Yeah, it's a lotta hard work,
but I've always enjoyed it.
I can see why.
Thanks, Granddad.
I should get back to my case.
Okay.
How's the tasting going?
Everyone seems to
be having a nice time.
Hey, where'd this come from?
I brought it
in from the living room
for a little motivation.
And what's this bottle here?
That is the Cabella Sunset,
it was the very first
recipe I helped develop.
Wow.
I'd like to try that.
Unfortunately, it
was a limited batch
we made using the antique press.
Well, at least you still
get to bust out the old girl
for your small-batch lessons.
Yeah.
I saw a bunch of people
leaving here earlier.
I was hosting a tasting for
a small group of tourists.
But when my expansion
plan goes through...
If.
When it goes through,
it will allow for
much larger groups.
So,
why here?
It's my favorite place
on the entire ranch,
because it has the
perfect sunset view.
The only place that
the Brandini factory
doesn't get in the way.
So you're blaming
me for that now?
I was just answering
your question.
Mm.
Why do you care about
this land so much?
I just wanna do what's
right for my family,
make them proud.
But you don't,
you don't know anything
about oil production.
That may be,
but every company needs strong
leadership and management.
That, I can do,
with my business acumen.
Did you seriously just
say acumen about yourself?
I have acumen to spare.
Okay.
I do wish I'd had more
hands-on experience.
And I regret how little
time I spent at the ranch
since we were kids.
You're right,
it is beautiful here.
Just...
Okay, just promise me one thing,
if you win...
When.
If.
You make sure that
nothing gets in the way
of this perfect view.
I promise.
Table 12.
Hey.
You stalking me?
Wow.
Good morning to you too.
I will have my usual, Billy.
And just so you know,
this is my go-to place,
so who is stalking who?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Everything okay?
Yeah, uh, two servers called
in sick this morning, so...
I can help out, it'll
be like old times.
Thank you.
You used to work here?
During high school,
she was the permanent
employee of the month.
Oh, well, then I
can lend a hand too.
Oh.
Wow, Jake Brandini
doing hard labor.
That I've gotta see.
You're on.
Uh, okay, let's get to work.
Let's go.
Apple pie, order up!
That's for me.
That's mine.
Thank you.
Uh, I will go get
you another one, sir.
Thank you for your patience,
this is on the house.
Thank you, Nicole.
Unbelievable.
Huh, a little greasing of the
wheel never hurt, I suppose.
Are you accusing me
of greasing the wheel?
Hey...
I think we both
know you deserve that.
Thank you.
I will get you another one.
Great.
Jake, what are you doing here?
Trying to increase
the bitterness.
Bitter is a positive, who knew?
Very good.
Winning this year is
more important than ever.
I know.
Six days left to get it right.
It's also key we stay aware
of what's happening
in the industry.
You mean check
out the competition?
In so many words.
Just ensure we're
leading trends,
not falling behind on them.
Hmm.
Welcome, everyone.
Today, we'll be using the
traditional olive oil press,
and when we're done,
you'll leave with your
own, personal blend.
Apologies for my
tardiness, everyone.
- Uh...
- Oh, please, continue.
No, I'm afraid
we're fully booked.
I think I just snagged
the last spot, online.
Everyone, please take
your place at a station.
No, you can't be here.
Why not? I'm a
paying customer.
Is there a problem with
my confirmation email?
Okay, yep, fine, fine.
Thank you.
The technique I'm
about to teach you
was developed by
Cabella Oil's founder,
and my grandpa, Frank.
Question.
Don't you mean Raphael Brandini?
We're visiting
Brandini tomorrow.
Oh, that, that
won't be necessary.
You're gonna learn everything
you need right here.
I'm gonna post this,
should I tag you?
Don't bother, Nicole
doesn't have social media.
She's old-school.
And how would you know?
Huh?
Oh, um...
Making olive oil shouldn't
be done by a formula.
You have to follow
your instincts.
Look.
See?
It's perfect.
Good job.
That consistency is really nice.
Thank you.
How am I doing, teach?
You might wanna infuse
more herbs for flavor,
but it's...
It's quite nice.
You did a
lovely job.
That was really hard
for you to say, wasn't it?
It was, yeah.
You're here at a
very scenic time,
because tomorrow,
all of the olives will actually
be harvested from the trees.
What are you building here?
We are expanding.
Oh, hey, Granddad.
Here, have a seat.
Listen,
you and Maxwell need to stop
treating me like an invalid.
You sure you don't need to
get back to San Francisco?
Nope, I promised I'd stay
until I cleared out the dispute.
Ah.
And you are the one who says
Brandinis always
keep their word.
So where'd you get that?
Oh.
It's, um...
I took a class,
at the Cabellas'.
I figured that
since you couldn't
give me the lesson yourself,
I would surprise you.
So, surprise.
Spending some time
with Nicole again, huh?
Just like when you were kids.
You knew?
Of course I knew.
You used to come back from
your little adventures
happy as a clam.
I never told your father,
because I knew he'd
put a stop to it.
And you didn't mind?
No.
I was glad you weren't burdened
by my conflict with Frank,
it had nothing to do
with you children.
Try this.
Oh, that's excellent.
Mm.
A nutty and very
harmonious flavor.
It actually reminds me
of the original batch
that Frank and I
developed together.
He must've taught Nicole well.
It was a lot of fun.
But the Brandinis aren't
exactly slacking off.
No, we aren't,
but, uh, things sure aren't
what they used to be.
Yeah, that factory does
seem to follow some guidelines
that are fairly strict with
their formulas and regulations...
That's it precisely.
Manufacturing has
become just too,
I don't know, too manufactured.
Back in my prime, I
really got my hands dirty.
That reminds me.
Look what I found.
Wow.
That takes me back.
Oh, man, we had a
lotta good times.
I really miss those days.
So what do you
think of our latest batch?
Mm, it still lacks pizzazz.
And we need to work
on our overall design,
the judges take the overall
package into consideration.
Brandini's is just so perfect.
I mean, look at
this presentation.
Yeah, but it's what's in the
bottle that really matters.
And Jake must be worried,
I mean, he did take your class.
I know.
I can't believe he had the
audacity to look me up online.
I mean, he must've
been really bored.
Uh,
you logged into my account
to look him up two
days ago, so...
That, that was different,
that was for corporate research.
None of them are just right.
- One, and two,
- Two, three, four, five,
- and three, and four, and...
- six, seven, eight.
It's an eight count.
No, it's one, and two,
and three, and four, and.
How's the submission
going, honey?
Um, well, we've narrowed
it down to these options,
but I...
I don't know which
one to choose.
Maybe you guys could
tell me what you like.
- Oh, sure.
- Yeah.
Okay, um, the first
one is more woody,
and for this one, we
incorporated floral hints.
Oh, my goodness me,
that is fantastic.
I like the taste of that one,
I can totally
serve that with food.
That is so robust.
I don't know, it
really depends on how...
You know what,
you are the expert,
you will know which
one to choose.
Yeah, I guess so.
- Oh, yeah.
- And remember,
Grandpa will be home
in a couple of days.
- Right.
- He wouldn't miss the contest
for the world.
Right.
We got dance class,
so, it's salsa day.
But listen, honey, you've
got two winners there.
They're both fantastic,
you are killing it.
Yeah?
The rosemary infused in
this batch made it unbalanced.
And this is too strong.
Back to the drawing board.
So if you guys start with
that section over there,
that'd be great.
All right, you all know
what to do, thanks, guys.
Hey, um,
I think we should use
the olives from today
in our next trial.
Okay, but as you know, they've
been on the trees longer,
so they will have a different...
Good morning.
Hi.
What, what brings you by?
I was, uh, wondering if I
could help out with the harvest?
Seriously?
Why here?
Well, the Brandinis,
we use industrial
machines for the harvest,
you guys do it the
old-fashioned way, the true way.
Still, I don't
think it's a good idea
for you to be out here.
Well, you said yourself I
should try a day in the field.
Challenge accepted.
Besides, I went into town
and rustled up proper attire.
Those boots are so pristine,
you could be in a catalog.
Oh, be nice,
I think he looks sharp,
almost authentic even.
Thank you, Adam.
So, what do you say?
Can I stay?
You promise to behave?
Alrighty then.
You can shadow me.
Yes!
Are you suggesting I
have delicate hands.
Oh, come on, don't
be so sensitive.
See, we all wear gloves.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Oh, uh, before we get started,
found something I think
you'll get a kick out of.
Look at that.
Wow.
You know, I forgot there was
a time when our grandfathers
actually used to work
the land together.
Pretty cool, huh?
Yeah.
I'll, um,
I'll show this to my grandpa
when he gets back into town,
I'm sure he'll love it.
Sounds good.
All right, let's get these
protective gloves on.
What do you think?
Am I a natural in
the making or what?
Not exactly.
Here, okay, I'll show
you how it's done.
If you take the branch like
this, and then go like that,
you actually get it
done a lot faster.
Thanks.
Yeah, you take that tree.
- Got it.
- Um, I will be over here.
- You get that one.
- Yeah.
Great.
How'd you do?
It went pretty
good, almost full.
Whoa, you really are a pro.
Yeah, well, you know,
running a ranch is so much
more than just picking olives.
I have to get better
at managing the books.
You know, I'm trying to
improve my business acumen.
Well, the guys at the ranch,
they have a program for that,
I can send it to you.
Really?
Yeah, done.
Thank you.
Thanks for today.
You're a pretty good teacher.
Well, you turned out to
be a pretty good student.
Quite helpful, so, well done.
Oh, don't go soft on me,
I won't know how to react.
Okay.
Oh, ow, okay, that's more
like the Nicole I remember.
So, staying on the ranch
must be way different
from what you're used
to in San Francisco?
You have no idea.
Do you ever get out that way?
Yeah, yeah, I drive
out pretty often,
- I go to a lot of Giants games.
- Really?
Well, my firm, we
get season tickets.
I should take you
to a game one time.
You and, you and Adam.
That would be amazing.
Yeah.
Okay, um,
you know, I should get
these cleaned and processed
before they turn.
You're a machine.
I gotta rest up
for the big race.
Wait, you're doing
the Cornucopia 500?
You know it.
See you at the finish line.
If you're lucky.
Challenge accepted.
Uh, keep 'em, for next time.
Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
welcome to the Cornucopia 500!
Racers, no bumping, pushing,
grabbing, or shoving.
You taking notes?
Always.
We want a clean race.
Hey.
Three laps for the win.
Racers, start your engines.
On your marks,
get set,
go!
No!
Eat my dust.
You're never gonna catch me,
- no, no, no.
- Oh, yeah?
Woo!
Yeah.
You're not gonna win.
No!
How does my dust taste, huh?
Jake is in the lead.
Oh, Nicole's creeping up.
This is a close one.
One lap to go.
Racers, it's your final lap.
Woo!
No way.
Good try, but not gonna happen.
Coming around the bend now.
No, no, what are you doing?
Up to the finish line.
What are you doing? No!
No way!
That is not fair!
Hey, no fair, he
said no grabbing,
you totally broke the rules.
You and your rules.
Hey, congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
Everybody's gonna
go for drinks later.
Yeah, you wanna come?
Um, you know, I'm
gonna sit this one out.
You guys have fun.
Uh, congrats.
Okay, thanks.
Check this out.
Wow.
You know what?
I think I love it.
But, you know, the contest,
it's only four days away,
and we aren't gonna win just
because of an interesting font.
Well, we aren't going to lose,
you keep saying that
this is our year.
I know.
But it is, it's more
than just a contest,
it's the company's
future at stake.
Right, so let's get
back to work, champ.
Champ.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's gonna leave a mark.
Hey.
Yeah.
It's good timing, really.
It seems, um,
my bike had different ideas
about me fixing its chain.
Well, you have to approach
a bike with determination,
otherwise, why would it
let you climb aboard?
You know, you may have
been a better cyclist,
I mean, back in the day,
but even I know
you're mocking me.
I am.
But maybe I can, I can
show you what to do.
Be my guest.
So, you just attach
the chain here,
and once it's hooked, pull it
through, and you're all set.
There's nothing to it.
For me, at least.
Your steed awaits.
Much obliged.
You, uh, do you wanna join me?
I could, uh, we could
go around the bike path.
The bike path?
Yeah, the, uh,
famous Brandini bike path.
I could, uh, I could
show you around our side.
You know, in all these years,
I've never properly
visited Brandini's.
I'll admit, I've been curious.
Well, you let me
join your class,
the least I can do
is give you a tour.
Okay.
Nicole is so stressed.
Yeah, Jake is too.
He won't admit it,
but I can tell.
Yeah, those two.
You see the way they
look at each other?
Oh, yeah.
It's so obvious.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, uh, I better
get back to the ranch.
Are you, uh,
going to the concert
tomorrow night?
Yeah, you bet I am.
I'll see you there.
Thank you.
Yeah, take care.
Come on,
there's no way you could prefer
pizza over a steak dinner.
You haven't lived until
you've tried my Chateaubriand.
Is that like a cheese steak?
All right,
you know what, I give up.
Well, maybe you can
make it for me sometime
and show me what I'm missing.
Okay, fine, as long as you
bring the bread and olive oil.
Hey, um,
how is your submission for the
contest coming along anyway?
Uh, pretty good, I think.
We've been working really
hard, I learned a lot.
How about you?
Oh, it's, uh,
it's a masterpiece.
Do you ever wonder what
it would've been like
if your granddad hadn't walked
away from the partnership?
Walked away?
That is not how I
would describe it.
What?
Raphael went behind his back
and started making
deals without him,
how else should my
grandpa have reacted?
Wait, that's what Frank says?
According to my granddad,
Frank wouldn't listen to reason
about expanding the
business, together.
No wonder you think
such terrible things
about me and my family.
What do you mean?
No, I don't.
I heard you.
The last summer you spent here,
I was waiting for
you by the border.
And?
And you were with
your dad, so I hid.
I didn't want you
getting in trouble
for hanging out with me.
And that's when I
heard you complaining
about how annoying I was.
That doesn't sound right,
what specifically did I say?
That you couldn't
stand being around me,
and you were very firm.
I think you misunderstood.
I was talking about
my summer tutor.
Are you sure?
Definitely.
She was always giving
me extra homework.
I mean, who does
that? That's cruel.
Yeah, it is.
I never woulda said that
about you, or your family.
Oh.
After all this time, I can't
believe I had it wrong.
And that's why you
stopped coming to meet me.
I never understood what I
did to make you so upset.
Jake.
Oh, we've been spotted.
Hey, Granddad.
Nice to see you, Mr. Brandini.
Oh, hello, Nicole.
This is incredible.
Oh, personally, I think
it's a little ostentatious,
but my son said it would
be good for the brand.
Jake was just telling me
about all the gourmet meals
he likes to prepare.
Oh, so you've
upgraded from takeout?
Uh, okay,
so I don't have time to
wile away in the kitchen,
but I can actually make
a few signature dishes.
Mm.
And I was gonna
bring you some of my oil.
Uh, speaking of your oil,
I sampled some of the batch
that Jake made in your class,
you really know
what you're doing.
Well, I learned from the best.
That you did.
Frank should be
very proud of you,
you definitely
inherited his gift.
That is, that's very
kind of you to say.
It's true.
And on that note, I
should get back to my work.
Yeah, me too, got
a competition to win.
Yeah, you sure about that?
Yeah, speaking of competitions,
race you to the post.
All right, you're on.
See you later.
You're not gonna beat me today.
Not again.
No, no, no, get back here.
This is not fair!
Mm-hmm, this one incorporates
the lemon flavor.
Mm, it isn't half bad.
Guess I might be a real
Brandini after all.
Okay.
Adam, how's it going?
I think we're getting
there, it's going pretty good.
Oh, well, look who it
is, the famous Brandinis.
Are you enjoying the festival?
I, for one, am looking forward
to finally putting our
reclaimed land to good use.
What are, what are
you trying to say?
I think, um,
what he meant to say is that
the Cabellas have
untapped potential.
Unlike Brandini's,
Cabella's not all
about the bottom line.
Well, perhaps that's
part of the problem.
Well, I just wanted to say
I was very impressed by
your accounting program.
You showed her our system?
It's just an accounting tool.
Let's go.
We'll see you at the contest.
It's okay.
Have you forgotten
that this contest
determines Cabella's
entire future?
What?
No, of course not.
All I'm saying is you're
starting to act like
he's no longer the villain.
All I'm saying is
maybe he isn't as bad
as I originally thought.
Hey, Adam?
Yes?
I was thinking
maybe we should submit
something more traditional.
You can't be serious?
We finally tweaked the recipe
and now you wanna
start all over again?
I don't know, it
could be interesting.
If you wanna wow the
judges and compete with Jake,
we're gonna need to present
something with a modern edge.
Yes, yes, yes, you're right.
Just forget I said anything,
let's finalize the
recipe we have.
I think
that's it.
Great job, guys.
Everything all right?
I don't know, you tell me.
Mm.
What do you think?
It's our signature flavor
with a hint of lemon.
Is that pepper I'm detecting?
Your senses do not
deceive you, Granddad.
You still got it.
We could win with this.
But, uh, is winning
really everything?
Well, what do you mean?
I don't know,
what about discovering what
really makes you happy?
Didn't you say you
miss the good old days,
when you and Frank
first started the ranch?
Yeah.
You ever consider making amends?
He's not interested in that.
You sure?
Honeys, I'm home.
Grandpa!
You're back, hey!
Hey.
How was the trip, Frank?
Ah, plenty of time
to recap all of that,
tell me what's been going on
with this border situation.
Uh, we will know
in a couple days.
I'd give anything
to show that Raphael
who the real talent is.
He's actually been
really sweet to me.
Jake has been quite reasonable
about everything too.
What?
Did I come home to an
alternate universe?
I'm serious, Grandpa.
Have you ever properly
sat down with Raphael
to hear his side of the story?
Now why on earth
would he do that?
I'm afraid, my dear,
Raphael and I have nothing
to say to each other.
I just think it's possible
we've misconstrued things.
What are you suggesting?
That the Brandinis
might not be so bad.
Hey, Julie.
Yeah, I've had a good visit,
but I'll be back Monday.
Listen,
have you considered
offering a settlement
on the copyright case?
I understand.
Full steam ahead.
Hi, thank you.
How you doing?
Good to see you.
Hey, Nicole, there you are.
Hey.
Oh, I'll just take
one, please, thank you.
Oh, ladies first.
I'll take the next one.
You sure?
Yeah, it's fine.
Okay.
Don't be absurd.
What?
Yeah, plenty of room.
What's going on?
Whoa, okay.
Thank you, thank you for that.
It sure is beautiful out.
Hm, Sunset Valley
has its moments.
It sure does.
You excited to go home?
Yeah, it'll be nice to go
back to the grind, I guess.
Is there, is there
someone to get back to?
Nah.
To be completely honest,
I'm spending so much
time with my clients,
I really haven't had
time for anyone else.
How about yourself?
Pretty focused on my career too.
You're lucky.
You've always known
what you wanted to do.
Yeah, always, running Cabella
Oil, just like my Grandpa.
And it happened.
You are boss lady.
Yeah, for the
next few days at least.
What's that supposed to mean?
Have you already forgotten
about our little wager?
No, but, I mean, even
if I win, you know,
you can always expand on a
different part of the ranch,
right?
We'd have to build from scratch,
and we don't have
the capital, so...
Why didn't you say anything?
Come on, would
it have made a difference?
Plus, I wanna win or
lose, fair and square.
Um, I'm gonna go get us
all a drink at the bar,
uh, Adam, you wanna come?
You got it.
Sorry.
It's okay to like her, you know?
Nicole?
I do like her.
I mean, like her like her.
But she's dating Adam.
She's not dating Adam.
Jake.
Oh, hey, Granddad.
Come on, let's go find a seat.
Yeah.
Here, right here.
Okay, cool.
- Uh...
- Hey there, how are you?
How are you?
Doing good.
Hi.
Hey.
Um, you know what, uh, can
you, can you give this to Jake?
I should sit with my parents.
Yeah, no problem.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
All right, we're gonna slow
things down a little bit now.
I think they're
playing our song.
Ask the girl to dance already.
May I have this dance, Nicole?
I'm a, I'm a really bad
dancer, two left feet.
That's perfect, I
have two right feet.
It's really easy, okay?
Okay.
Give me your hand, right here.
Okay.
And this hand goes out.
Nice, wow.
Look at me.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well, that was
quite the evening.
Yes.
Yeah, it was nice.
I'm sorry,
are you calling the dance that
you shared with Jake nice?
One song, there's nothing to it.
Nicole, come on, it's me,
you don't have to pretend.
I know there's something
going on between you and Jake,
just admit it.
Look,
I mean, I am glad we cleared
the air after all these years,
that's all.
Oh, besides,
come on, he lives
in San Francisco.
San Francisco's
only a drive away.
You won't believe it.
What's gotten into you, son?
You have to look at the
documents I just found.
It could make all
the difference.
Stop pestering me,
and let's get back
to the task at hand.
Tomorrow is judgment
day, literally.
Fine, I'll pester you later.
Okay, good luck.
I'll be going into town
to run some errands later.
What's this?
Our final entry?
Final entry.
Thank you, for everything.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Sure you wanna do this?
If we wanna really win,
it's the only thing to do.
I'm proud of you, Jake.
That's your winner, is it?
I hope so.
Well, you better put
that somewhere safe,
the Brandinis are
liable to interfere.
Come on, are you saying they
would sabotage the contest?
That's ridiculous.
If the shoe fits.
According to this
partnership agreement,
October 12th, 1976.
Well, it appears you are
absolutely right, Jake,
and I'll take care of
the construction
permit this afternoon.
Thanks, Judge.
- Mm-hmm.
- I look forward
to finally resolving this issue.
Consider it done.
Well, I'll see you
after the contest.
Yes, you will.
I've gotta run.
Thanks.
Okay.
Oh, hello, Nicole.
Hi, Judge Monroe.
Hi.
Hi.
What, uh, what's going on?
Oh, uh, you know, just
taking care of some business.
Yeah, I saw you
talking to Judge Monroe.
Yeah, it was just, you
know, um, zoning ordinance,
construction permits,
that kinda thing.
Okay, and does this
construction permit
involve me and Cabella?
Wait, what?
Because it sure sounded
like you were trying
to sway Judge Monroe
in your favor.
You think I would
do that to you?
I know what I heard, Jake.
No, that wasn't what...
You know, I guess
I should've expected it,
given your family history.
Please, let me explain,
I took a document from my...
No, I can't,
I can't believe that I
thought you were different.
I defended you.
You skipped dinner.
You're not still
working, are you?
Not exactly, just
stewing, more like.
You can stew on a full
stomach, I fixed you a plate.
Thanks, but, I don't
have much of an appetite.
Look, honey, I know you're
nervous about the competition,
but we're all so proud of you.
Thanks, Grandpa.
But it's more than that,
I thought that I
understood a situation,
but it turns out I just
had it completely wrong.
I'm sorry, sweetheart,
that's an awful feeling.
Sometimes you just have
to trust your instincts.
Well, that is the problem,
my instincts seem to be way off.
When it comes to making
olive oil, they're spot-on.
Eat this food your mother
made, get some rest,
you'll feel better
in the morning.
Grandpa's orders.
Thanks, Grandpa.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Welcome to the Sunset
Valley Olive Oil Competition.
Where is she? I've
been calling her all morning.
Sunset Valley treats olive oil
with the utmost seriousness.
We'll be selecting the winner
based on a number of categories:
aroma, flavor, texture,
and finally, presentation.
Shall we begin?
Oh, and while we deliberate,
please feel free to taste
the samples in front of you.
Wait, Judge Monroe, wait!
Wait!
I have to change
the Cabella entry.
That's highly unconventional.
But not against the rules,
she did make it in
just the nick of time.
This is Cabella Sunrise.
What is she doing?
Trusting her instincts.
Here you go.
Oh, sorry, here, there you are.
This is Cabella Sunrise.
We got this in the bag.
I wouldn't be so sure, son.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.
You gonna go say hi to Jake?
There's no point.
Do they even know what you did?
It doesn't matter.
Hey, Billy, come try these.
Mm, wow.
Mm.
Oh, my, Nicole, this
is, this is amazing.
Thank you.
This Brandini's
isn't so bad either.
Raphael,
well done.
Why, uh, thank you, Frank.
Your granddaughter
did a wonderful job.
She must've had a great teacher.
We have deliberated, and
we've come to a decision.
Guys, no matter what happens,
I'm going to save up
and find a way to make
the expansion happen,
even if it takes
a few extra years.
That's the Cabella spirit.
And it was unanimous.
Congratulations to
Cabella Oil!
- Yeah!
- We won!
We won, we won, we won!
Judge Monroe.
Nicole, what are you doing here?
I am here to
formalize everything
now that we've won the land.
Jake didn't tell you?
Tell me what?
Oh, before the contest,
he signed a declaration that
the land belongs to you.
But, but why?
He found more documents
that showed your border line
was correct all along.
No, no, but the other day,
I overheard you
and Jake talking,
it was something about
my construction permit.
That wasn't about
you, that was for Billy.
I have to go.
There's my little champion.
What a day for the
Cabella family.
We finally got the
recognition we deserve.
Grandpa, none of that matters.
We keep misjudging things
and jumping to conclusions
when it comes to the Brandinis.
They deserve for us
to give them a chance.
Excuse me, Grandpa, there's
something I have to do.
Hey, guys.
Well, all hail
the conquering hero.
Yeah, uh, I don't really
feel like much of a hero.
What's wrong?
Is Jake really helping you
with a construction permit?
He sure is.
Yeah, all your talk
about expanding the ranch
got me thinking,
I wanna put a hotel
above this restaurant.
Jake offered his legal
expertise no charge.
Oh, no.
Have you seen him?
I've phoned him a million times.
He came over here
earlier, to say goodbye.
Yeah, he already left.
Frank?
What are you doing here?
I, uh,
thought you might wanna look
at these old photos with me.
They're of the two of
us from back in the day.
Yeah, I'd love that.
And maybe when
your arm is healed,
we can whip up a
batch of oil together
on the original press,
for old times' sake.
Okay, uh,
but only if you let me add
my spices to the blend.
Not on your life.
You never change, do you?
Jake.
Wait, you're still here?
Yeah.
I know, I know, I'm not
supposed to be on your property,
but I just wanted to enjoy
the view before I took off.
I'll get outta your way.
Wait, no, I, I
tried calling you.
My phone's dead.
It's kinda nice actually.
I know what you did for me.
Have you,
have you ever met someone
with a habit of making
impulsive decisions?
'Cause I have that habit.
I had the wrong
impression about you.
Well, I mean, first
I had it wrong,
and then I thought
you weren't so bad,
and I had it wrong again...
Nicole?
Yes?
Are you trying
to apologize to me?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes, I am.
But, okay, I still
don't understand
why you couldn't explain to me
what you were doing
at the courthouse.
I was torn,
you said you wanted to win
or lose fair and square.
Yeah, I did want that,
but you, you just let me say
those awful things to you,
and I feel terrible.
I'm so sorry.
So, you off to San Francisco?
Yep.
To tell my boss I'm going
to resign from the firm.
Really?
Yeah.
I wanna work on the ranch.
For real?
So, um,
I mean, are you ready to put
that acumen of
yours to good use?
You know it.
So, uh, just a warning,
you might be seeing
a little more of me.
Oh, I think I'd like that.
I mean, especially,
especially if you
wear your new boots.
I think I can
agree to those terms.
Finally, a
successful negotiation.
You really are
something, Nicole.
I'll, uh, I'll race
you to the factory.
Oh, it is on.
Okay.
Get back here.
No, no.
You won.
Oh, yes.
Always.
Take in all the sunshine
Bottle up the rain
Go where the wind blows
Let it show the way
Open all the windows
Let in all the light
You can pull the stars down
Paint the perfect sky
Oh a-oh a-oh
Life's what you make it
Life's what you make it
